Hi Rodrigo,

Hello,
I've recently upgraded from FC3 to FC4 via yum.
Everything worked fine until I decided to install a
couple of extra packages. NTFS support was one of
them.
I downloaded the correct rpm and ran
rpm -ivh
kernel-module-ntfs-2.6.12-1.1398_FC4-2.1.22-0.rr.7.4.rpm
And I got the following error...
error:
%pre(kernel-module-ntfs-2.6.12-1.1398_FC4-2.1.22-0.rr.7.4.i686)
scriptlet failed, exit status 255
error: install: %pre scriptlet failed (2), skipping
kernel-module-ntfs-2.6.12-1.1398_FC4-2.1.22-0.rr.7.4
After a couple of posts I got a solution to this by
using the --noscripts option with rpm.
--noscript isn't a solution for sure. ;-)
The problem is that rpm is not working properly when
installing or uninstalling packages. It doesn't matter
if I use yum or not. When, for example I tried to
uninstall amule I got:
[root@ajenjo ~]# rpm -q amule
amule-2.0.1-1.2.fc4
[root@ajenjo ~]# yum remove amule

The rpm will be removed from the rpm database after the postremove
scripts have finished.
As you can see, amule did not get removed... Has
anybody else seen this type of thing? Has anybody else
gotten this problem? Is this a bug in rpm, should I
report it?
In any case, I'd really appreciate some help. I'm
using FC4 with kernel-2.6.12-1.1398_FC4 on an i686.
I'm also using:
rpm-4.4.1-22
yum-2.3.2-7
try the following...
1. (re)move /var/lib/rpm/__db.00*
2. rpm --rebuilddb
Had the same problem after installing FC4, but I had this problem ever
since RH8.0 every now and then.
THANKS AGAIN!!!
